I'm using a logitech mouseman.  Under 1.1 c&p worked about 50% of
the time.  I eventually configured it as a two button mouse in X and
everything worked fine 100% of the time.  Under 2.0.1 that config
option is apparently no longer available to me, so I'm stuck with a
three button mouse that doesn't always c&p -- works about 80% of the
time.  When it works, it works for as long as the X server is running.
When it doesn't work, it doesn't work for the life the server.  Very
annoying.
